In this brief space there have been some
very horrible and startling crimes com.
mitted within the borders of Texas
There was the affair at Willis, in which a
human being was shot to death as he lay
chained and supposed to be under the
protection of the same law he is alleged
but only alleged-to have violated.
Then, few days ago, on the streets of
the leading commercial city of Texas an
inoffensive printer-harming nobody
was deliberately beaten to death by two
young hoodlums, who appeared to act
from motives of pure diabolism.
Then, only week or two ago citizen,
respectable and law abiding, was taken
out of his own house, near Taylor, Will
hanson county, tied up and whipped.
Then, we have had the train robbery at
Mcneil. Close on the heels of that fol.

How long before men and women will

REVOLUTION IN EDUCATION.

A new departure from old educational
methods has been inaugurated at Harvard
1t is making the study of Greek elective
and elective only in securing the degree
of Bachelor of Arts. Everybody, who has
rubbed his back against the inside walls
of college or university, knows what this
means, and how radical must be the revo-
luton in our present system of higher
education il the idea becomes general. If
the new innovation is adopted in our col
| leges, then the ultimate and final result
must be, and at no distant day, the prac-
tical elimination of Greek from the cur
riculum, and RELOCATING that grand old
study to the oblivion which overhangs He
brew and other like ancient languages.
1t cannot be doubted, however, that the
Harvard idea is based upon popular no.
ton, evidently gaining ground, and which
is against spending too much time on
Greek in the ordinary college curriculum.
1t would not be surprising if the elective
Greek plan suggested at Harvard should
finally prevail. Modern education would
then take on sort of Cheap John char

road to learning" be, to some extent,

raw material right at our door; assure
him that scarcity of labor, which has hith
erto heen more or less of a barrier to
manufactures, no longer exists, and then
we could afford to donate sutt Gent land
for the plant and subscribe to a fair guam
tity of capital stock. With few factories,
we would attract atteItion. Others would
become interesttd and would investi-
gate. One thing would lead
to another. The investor would
lin spite of the appearance of our "Union
dep"t") be t. mpted to stop over, and,
possibly, open bank account here. The
seeker after II lovely home, attracted for
the first time to our city, would, in many
cases, pitch his tent with us. Railroads
would find it to their interest to come
to Austin when they find freight to
transport. We would have competition,
possibly, IN that direction, and the sub
ject of large bonuses would not be the
only inducement for them to accept our
invitation to center in Austin.
"ONE WILLING TO Work"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-06-02

II is said Secretary Lamar is the strong
est candidate for the vacant seat on the
supreme bench, if Garland will not take it,
Lamar is in the right place now. He has
made an excellent secretary of the int.
rior, and he should keep his present po-
sition until he has thoroughly worked out
the adjustment of the Indian land ques-
ton, upon which he is now occupied.
Plenty of able judicial minds in the south
deserve this judgeship, and no need de-
mands cabinet Office should be vacated
to fill the quota of United States supreme
judges. Texas has a very able candidate
in the field; he and Texas deserve the pro-
motion and honor.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-06-02

The wine producing capacity of Texas
is yet undeveloped. The soil is peculiarly
adapted to the cultivation of the grape
and it looks like suicidal policy for the
citizens of the state to attempt to stamp
out its vineyards and destroy an industry
that promises to rival in value the tobacco
crop of Kentucky. 1t seems quite as sen
sible to suggest to Kentucky farmer to
prohibit the culture and manufacture of
tobacco as it does to suggest to the Texas
farmer to prohibit the culture of the
grape, for, OF course, the grape will not
be extensively cultivated except for its
commercial value in wine. 1t is not ouly
commercially impolitic, bat it violates
vested rights, and the question comes
home to us, with persistent ard emphatic
force, what right have we to impair any
vested right of those who have planted
vineyards in Texas? Many farmers of the
state have planted vineyards, aud how are
we, under law and equity, able to de troy
their profits arising from the manufac-
ture of wine? They have invested in 1t
money and labor and are protected in the
full enjoyment of its yield by the funds-
mental lay of the state. Would it
not be considered absurd and vio-
lation of all rights to propose such
prohibition in California? Certainly. And,
forsooth because not as much money is
invested in the manufacture of wine in
Texas as there is in California, the prohi-
bitionists say you have right to stop it.
The law protects one man just as per-
fectly as it does majority. Besides,
Texas promises to be as large a wine
yielding state as California. Is there any
sense or justice in destroying this indus
try in Texas In its infancy? Pehaps, be-
cause it is an infant industry, you propose,
like the Hindoo, to sacrifice it to a fanati.
cism and blinds uperstition.

THE ATTORNEY. GENERAL VERSUS
LESSNESS.

Much has lately been said by the press
especially the Galveston News, about tn,
"Inyasion" of Attorney. general Hogg upol
the province of the legal authorities o
Travis county, because THEA torney genera
went to the scene of the train robbery
| at Mcneil. This attack was as uncalleC
for as it was unjust. The attorney
general did not usurp the position OF
the local illegal authorities; he went
to Mcneil not alone, but in com
paDy with the district attorney, the county
attorney, a!justice of the peace and a
constable.l No one knew better than Mr..
Hogg that, alb initio, he could have no
charge of the case, nor did he wish -uch
charge. His presence at the scene of the
robbery, within the shadow of the ca ital,
could be only significant of the fact, that
the highest prosecuting legal authority of
the state had taken cognizance of the out
rage that had been committed against
the peace and dignity of the state, aud
that in his very presence the state was
personally and peculiarly bound, to visit
upon the perpetrators of the crime the
severest penalty known to the law, that
standing warning should 90 out for all
time against the repetition of such brazen
faced crimes. SO far from Mr.. Hogg's
action being a reflection upon that gen
tleman and his Office, it is good omen
for the peace and the careful admiuistra-
ton of the laws, when the attorney gen
eral so promptly and zealousIy looks into
such a fragrant violation of law, even
though such violation does not come
directly, and in the first instance, under
his official care. states officers, execu-
tive and legal, are not in such cases to
stand upon any false sense of official
etiquette. The state, its reputation and
the dignity of its laws, are of vastly more
importance than the technical question
as to whether or not certain official has
jurisdiction over certain case. We
would not confuse the relations of different
officials we believe these essential to
prompt and efficient conduct of the laws,
but we contend that, as in this instance,
where no rights were usurped, the
official who goes out of his beaten
track to throw the weight of his
influence toward the detection and
punishment of crime, by so doing reflects
credit upon himself and is an honor to
the state. That the attorney general is
Jealous in THIS matter of suppressing law
lessness is additionally proved by his re-
cent manly letter on mob violence. His
course in this matter, as well as his Jour
ney to Mcneil, are [ food for the states
self graduation that she has an officer of
such force and courage. Had the Calves
ton News not wished to hit Adiutant Gen
eral King, against whom it has an old
grudge, over the shoulders of the qttOr-
ney general, we think they would not have
been betrayed into this unjust attack
upon Mr.. Hogg.

/. is also earnest and enthusiastic. 1t has

For this reason it commends itself to
